Thanks for the tip off there Michael.
We use Headus UV Layout or the UV tools within Modo for most problematic UV tasks but only run a couple of licenses to Headus as it's an expensive option for a one trick pony so keen to explore some of the other choices you have highlighted. For a lot of ArchViz tasks we only need to ensure that there's no weird stretching in the UV's (that will throw out the texture tiles) so we're finding MoI is pretty good as it stands (especially seeing as we break up our models into their component parts to ease that workflow).
Great to hear that you'll be improving MoI's native UV capabilities too, anything that eases that particular task is welcome indeed!
Because we break up our models into logical component parts for texturing another thing we would like to see is some form object nesting in MoI. I've seen this requested before on the forum so I'm sure it's on your radar. And whilst on the subject of the object properties panel, is there a script available that enables a user to call up the renaming input popup via a keyboard shortcut. I searched high and low for this but couldn't find it. It's a minor irritation but having to keep on moving the mouse over to click on the object name field to access the rename panel is a tad annoying especially seeing as the resulting panel then opens up back over the viewport. I'm sure a script is fairly easy to write for this seeing as the interface is driven by HTML/Javascript so if one doesn't exist I'm sure one of the boys at the office will be able to put something together.
